UNICODE

[nick k]

Hi

I posted a question a while ago and i cant find it for the answer again.
Here it is again. .

I need to export unicode compliant data out of excel. What i need is special
characters inserted into Excel via a .csv file such as German and Russian
Characters to remain as is without Excel changing them.

Is this clear enough? (I wonder!)

Thx
Nick

Do the characters appear correctly in Excel? What output type are you
using for the exported data? So far as I can tell, none of the CSV output
formats support Unicode except for Unicode Text, which saves the data in a
tab-delimited format.
